   About Anthony McCarthy

Anthony McCarthy

Anthony McCarthy hails from Eugene, OR and brings with him an astonishing ability to touch the hearts of listeners. This singer-songwriter approaches acoustic guitar, piano folk and more in his pop rock offerings and presents poignant melodies and heartfelt lyrics that break the barriers between people at the speed of light. His songwriting skills are evident with every piece and fans can only bask in the pleasure of hearing a McCarthy song.

Fortitude

McCarthy finds in music a companion, something to supply fortitude when times are rough and a mode of rejoicing when things are looking better. His fans are able to find the same gifts in his music, thanks to his keen understanding of music and man and his talented ability to translate his emotions into powerful songs. “Music has carried me over some very difficult times in my life emotionally. Sometimes it seemed like the only thing that kept my head above water while I was depressed was music. Music makes me feel many things and many ways. Music can soothe me, make me cry, give me goosebumps, make me laugh, make me happy and ecstatic, even.” McCarthy’s fans can say the same thing about his music.

Catharsis

Music is cathartic, a source of release. McCarthy imbues each of his songs with this ability, providing a salve to the soul for listeners. “Good music should affect the soul and create catharsis within. I write music that I personally would enjoy as a listener.” And by holding himself to a high standard of emotional honesty and by sticking to his artistic guns, McCarthy has found a musical voice that will distinguish itself from those around it.

Work

Work with McCarthy's rock band The Rhythm Pimps will continue. He will be seeking label attention for his band early next year and will also be working hard on his solo material, in which he plays all instruments. Plans are brewing for a solo Anthony McCarthy CD. He is currently working with A&R Select, the leading A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.

Review

“Anthony McCarthy writes songs with real emotional impact, songs that leave you thinking, and feeling …” – A&R Select

Hey Tony, I've been good. Retardedly busy, as is usual, but have had some good accomplishments up here in P-town. The tune is cool! I'm impressed with what you're able to do with those old black & whites. The melody/theme is something that seems real familiar to me, I think I remember it's beginnings from some time ago - but your melodies have a way of sticking in the mind, which must mean they are pretty good.
Keep at it, let me know next time you make it up the I-5. Haven't been to Eug. in a while, but I'll get back eventually...
BTW, nice profile pic!
